Envoy Information
 
Hey all,

I haven't seen a thread on Envoy since previous threads in regards to the TA vote. I just thought I'd start a new one about any news on the airline moving forward into the future, post TA. How are class sizes looking? Has there been any noticeable drop/increase in application submissions as a result of the TA? I know it might be too early to tell, but I thought I'd ask.

Happy Flying,

Alex

Zero and yes
Management says downsizing
Management says e175 going to someone else
Management says crj's will be leaving
Management says embraers will be parked
Management also says I get paid to much and don't work enough on my days off.

They have no choice- less applicants than attrition.
Hmmm. Where's the announcement?
Hmmm. Why announce a new base for them?
See #1.
The feeling is mutual, right?

I know you weren't trying to be funny but as a 16 year American Eagle guy that post cracked me up. If management has their way, yes we will be another cheap regional.

Educational moment of the day today was finding out Envoy means "I can't" in Finnish.

These are statements/threats that they have given multiple times trying to scare us into passing the TA. It's not speculation.

It means "management wants the pilots to make less so they can make more" in English....

skygus 04-08-2014 08:17 AM

In reality will not be any cheap regional. When they start to bidding for new TA's management will need to add the new pilots pay. We are all seeing game change with exception of a few one nobody else is taking concessions.

When are they scheduled to start taking deliveries of the E175s? They will have to show their hand eventually to get the program up and running at Envoy in time for the deliveries if they have just been bluffing this whole time, or no one else can staff the aircraft.

buddies8 04-08-2014 08:50 AM

I believe March 2015. From what I've heard it takes ~6 months to get a program set up for a new aircraft. If that's true they're going to dick with us all the way til September.

That's if they decide to do it in house. They could wait a lot longer if they decide to just send us to a FlightSafety program. I'm pretty sure that's what RAH does...

And we should keep saying no! As much time the keep dicking with us, more people will jump the ship, then at the end they won't even have the staffing to fly those airplanes.

I heard that MESA, RAH and PSA says no to AAG request for them to fly the 175s. Also heard today that apparently AAG went to Silver Airways and they also turned them down since they can't recruit enough people.

Chuck25 04-08-2014 11:17 AM

Is Eagle still hiring? They just sent me an email saying I didn't fit the qualifications. 2 months ago they offered me an interview date but I wasn't able to go then.

Waitingformins 04-08-2014 11:35 AM

Yea they are.
Was there any confusion if you meet the R-ATP or the ATP? I guess if you have 900ish hours it makes a difference.

No. Have all ATP mins met unrestricted 1500TT. Offers from a few other airlines. That's why I'm confused about the email saying I didn't met the qualifications. Especially after they already sent me the interview packet.

Who at PSA could say no? Wouldn't it come from their boss?

Is it still possible to get ORD out of training? Thanks

Hahaha. The more this info gets out, these regionals will realize that there aren't other airlines willing to do the flying for peanuts so they will charge a lot more. Eagle not looking so expensive huh Parker?

I think we're "hiring" but I don't think management is making much of an effort to actually hire.

That's only ~500 pilots, I don't think that solves the issue.

What new base? When was this announcement (post failed TA by pilot group?) and where will the new base be?

Came out last week. DFW CRJ base.

PilotJ3 04-08-2014 01:58 PM

30 CA and 30 FO positions for CRJ DFW.

This came out one day after they "decided" to cancel the ORD vacancy for 30 CA for the CRJ. Clearly the first vacancy was a fake one...

The 30 CA positions are net upgrades, there's no displacement. A lot of the 824 group are leaving to other carriers. I guess the company real intention is to scare away as much sr people as they can to lower longevity even more.

These are NOT net upgrades. They will be filled by base transfers, specifically DFW Sr. commuters based in ORD. Those "gummers" aren't flowing either.

Expect maybe less than 5 net upgrades the most. This will go VERY SENIOR.

You sure they can bid it? Wasn't that the point of pay banding. It's going to go to new upgrades, as no one is being displace right now.

Yes, they will bid them as base transfer. These "gummers" are so Sr. that pay banding doesn't apply to them. They get CRJ CA pay regardless of equipment they fly. They will base transfer from ORD.

They will have to announce a displacement bid eventually. Those planes are either ORD or JKF base therefore a displacement bid.

I am betting ord

Well, according to the BK contract, only 30% of the vacancies can be filled by captains that require longterm training. (EMJ CAs) That's ten going to senior DFW EMJ guys. It just depends how many CRJ CAs in ORD or NY are DFW commuters that followed the plane when they left DFW last time. I have no idea how many of them there are, but that will determine how many FOs will get to upgrade to fill the other 20 captain spots.

Is it rumor that Envoy crj's are coming to dfw or fact?

Fact.

With the amount of guys leaving this company I do not forsee any displacements associated with the DFW CRJ bid. They won't need to displace anyone as alot of CRJ guys are flowing.

ClarenceOver 04-08-2014 08:38 PM

Any idea how long it will take to hold dfw if get on the crj in ord or jfk?

PilotJ3 04-08-2014 09:02 PM

No idea, we have to wait until the bids comes out to see how Jr it goes.

Beech90 04-09-2014 04:22 AM

So Envoy is in fact not getting rid of their CRJ's?

Those that know aren't saying a word. So far no announcements but attrition is north of 60 pilots per month including the 20 flows to American. If these guys don't stop the games, Envoy will be shutting down despite their (management) best efforts.

Quite frankly, I think this team is over its head between placing the 175's, West, Beast, and East SLI and the attrition at the regionals.

It all depends on how many ORD and JFK CRJ pilots bid DFW. DFW EMJ FOs cannot bid DFW CRJ and the qol for the 30 DFW CRJ crews will be lower than the DFW EMJ so I imagine new hires getting some of the DFW CRJ FO spots just like when LGA CRJ opened up. All of the FOs for LGA CRJ were new hires despite all the LGA EMJ FOs were sitting around as their flying was reduced.
